Unapologetically Black.

It bring tears to my eyes when I realize how sweet black women really are

Because EVENNN THOUGH

She’s scared,

she still puts a bandaid over her heart

And she smiles

And she takes care of yo babies

And she prays for you daily

While the world makes her out to be crazy.

It’s truly amazing!

All that you’ve endured

And STILL your heart is pure.

You work twice as hard as a white man

How sick his lazy ass be when you pull up next to him driving the same shit.

Life may get tough

but neverrr stop strutting your stuff.

Keep it up!!!
